Facebook dumps search results from Microsoft’s Bing

Social networking giant Facebook has dumped search results from Microsoft’s Bing after launching its own tool for finding comments and other information

Facebook confirmed the move Friday.

Search is vital for Facebook’s 1.35 billion users as they attempt to find friends or locate all kinds of other information on the site.

Facebook spokesperson revealed that they are not currently showing web search results in Facebook Search because they are focused on helping people find what’s been shared with them on Facebook.

Facebook revealed that they continue to have a great partnership with Microsoft in lots of different areas.
